Murong Ling slept for an entire day, and when she woke up again, her head was still aching. It was only when she saw Li Cangmin and asked Bai Mu did she know that he had gone into closed-door training at Burying Flowers Palace. She couldn't help but be astonished. He had just broken through the Early Element Building Stage not too long ago.

Bai Mu naturally did not know the reason, but he did bring her a piece of news, "Yesterday, Your Majesty had ordered for the marriage of Prime Minister Shi's daughter to be arranged for Prince Zhao. The moment the imperial edict was passed down, the condition of the Noble Consort began to worsen. It was said that he had already been in a coma for an entire day.

"How is Noble Consort's condition?" She fell down the long stone steps and smashed her head, every concussion was impossible, yesterday when Li Fuchen anxiously asked for her help, he guessed that the situation was not good.

As expected, Bai Mu revealed a rare look of schadenfreude, "My brain is bruised and muddled, I might lose my life at any time. I heard that I don't remember too much now."

After asking about the progress of the assassin case, he found out that other than Noble Consort, all the other people involved had been arrested.

Bai Mu saw that she was deep in thought, and added, "Yesterday, Prince Zhao went to Duke of Zhenguo Palace, and even specially spoke a few words with Second Miss Mu Rong.

Murong Hua had a deep affection for Li Fuchen, and she had even been scammed by the Ghost Vine a while ago. This showed that her inner demons were very strong, and now that Li Fuchen had married Shi Junru as her concubine, she definitely did not agree, and did not know what Li Fuchen had told her yesterday.

Murong Ling was a little curious, "What is it?"

"The Second Miss of the Murong Clan had the Duke of Zhenguo request for an order and chose her as her Zhao Wangfei. The Duke of Zhenguo was furious and imprisoned her. "

Murong Hua was as arrogant and brainless as usual. Although the current Duke of Zhenguo was in charge of the assassin case and had overflowing authority, he was still just a lowly official, who would be able to shake the Sacred Will that easily. Furthermore, with Murong Ben's shrewdness, he probably did not want to be involved with the Prince Zhao at this critical moment.

But, Murong Ling had a premonition that this matter was not over yet.

Indeed, not long after, rumors started spreading around the capital that the Lithophase's girl had a bad appearance and could not even be considered a Zhao Wangfei. Soon, the entire capital found out that Shi Junru had disfigured her face and became a saltless girl.

"Master, as you expected, the rumors were spread by the Prince Zhao."

At that time, Murong Ling was in the courtyard planting trees, it was precisely the forget worried fruit. The tiny sapling had been in the brocade sack for a few days, and was already dispirited, without any life force, if not for Chun Xi who saw it while changing her clothes, Murong Ling would have almost forgotten about it.

In order to take care of them from the sidelines, she cleared out all the servants in the courtyard, leaving only Bai Mu and Leng Qiu behind. Only then did Murong Ling take out the sapling and place it in the hollow of the tree, and used the Falling Rain Mantra, causing rainwater filled with spirit energy to fall on the sapling. The originally dying green seedling immediately regained its vitality, and grew larger and larger under Leng Qiu and Bai Mu's astonished gaze, only stopping after it was half a meter tall.

Murong Ling nodded in satisfaction and used an illusion technique to make herself smile. It seemed that Li Fuchen only had this much feelings for Shi Junru, to actually use her looks as a shield.

"The capital is going to change. Send an order. This concubine needs to recuperate soon. No matter who it is, I won't see them." Feeling the veins on the leaves on the Wangyou Tree, Murong Ling squinted her eyes, "I believe that Lithophase is still in the dark, it's truly pitiful. Leng Qiu, you have secretly leaked the news to him, don't reveal your identity."

Leng Qiu knew that her master had a wise plan, so sshe did not ask further. Without saying anything further, he agreed and talked about another matter, "Master, someone from the Duke of Zhenguo Palace came to look for Leng Dong just now."

"Watch him closely."

He had revealed his strength in the palace, Murong Ben would probably not be able to sit still. Also, there was the Beastmaster, it seemed that the Duke of Zhenguo Palace's water was also very deep. As soon as she thought about it, her head started to hurt, Murong Ling no longer cared about the disturbance in the outside world, she looked at Bai Mu who looked like a wooden person and asked, "Is there any movements from the Prince?"

Bai Mu shook his head as before and frowned. He suppressed the worry in his heart and sighed, "Forget it, let's withdraw. "Wait, wait …" After stopping the two people who were about to leave, she took out half a piece of roasted meat from the Spatial Ring. It was precisely the same roasted meat that Li Cangmin had roasted the night before he entered the capital, "Take your roasted meat with you."

This half roast meat had been placed in the Spatial Ring for a few days. She had eaten the roast meat inside the God Soothing Pill, which was how she remembered Li Cangmin's astonishing masterpiece.

Both of their eyes immediately lit up, thanking them profusely. Murong Ling looked at them, feeling that something was amiss, "Could it be that this barbecue has benefits for you?"

Li Cangmin was not even present, if they really did not need to flatter in front of her.

As expected, Leng Qiu truthfully told them the truth. "Although the King's Grilled Meat is hard to eat, the quality of the meat is extraordinary. It can increase one's Qi after eating it, so calling it the Ling Dan's wondrous medicine would not be an exaggeration."

This Cloud Chasing Beast was a Level 2 Goblin Beast, its meat contained soul force, it was a huge boon to the Fighter, no wonder Leng Qiu and Bai Mu were so fond of it. However, thinking about the sour, sweet and spicy taste of the roast meat, Murong Ling felt that it was a bit pitiful for the two of them.

Leng Qiu and Bai Mu were secretly raising their strength, while Murong Ling was recuperating with her door closed, on the other hand, she had also stabilized her cultivation. In her battle with Ye Zhentian, she had broken through the barrier of the eighth level, but because of her severe injuries and the lack of soul force, she had not advanced at all.

Other than training, when Murong Ling has free time, she would watch Li Fuchen become a joke.

Leng Qiu had already followed the instructions and revealed the source of the rumors to the Lithophase. After hearing that the Lithophase had found out, she immediately entered the palace to complain and request for the rescission of the marriage. Emperor Xuanwu, who was already in a terrible situation because of the assassins, reprimanded Li Fuchen greatly, and even agreed to Lithophase's request to cancel the marriage.

Now that the Noble Consort was involved in the assassination case and Duke of Zhenguo was the main judge of the case, Li Fuchen decided to make the marriage alliance. But since the Emperor Xuanwu didn't allow it, he came up with a good idea that would destroy Shi Junru's reputation with just one shot and two birds with one stone. With Emperor Xuanwu's personality, he would naturally not allow her to enter the door, and naturally let go of the marriage. He then made a move towards Murong Hua. As long as the marriage was annulled, she would cause a ruckus and ask the Duke of Zhenguo to grant her marriage.

On this matter, he took everything that he could think of, he thought that he could get what he wanted, but his dreams were full, the reality was bones and bones, and yet, he coincidentally met Murong Ling who was staring at him.

With her means, monitoring a mere Prince Zhao Palace was too simple, she had tricked him.

Li Fuchen naturally thought of how he was tricked by others, and naturally would not admit that it was spread by him, and that it was a trap set up by a thief. He sincerely indicated that Shi Junru did not want to marry, and lied to Emperor Xuanwu, but in the end did not put down the marriage decree.

However, the Lithophase was experienced and astute, he had his suspicions towards the Prince Zhao, and delayed the marriage. In order to express his feelings, Li Fuchen would go to the Prime Minister's Residence every day, and even made his subordinates search for famous immortal pills and doctors to pose as such. When Lithophase finally calmed down, he was also sick.
